To be fair, every book in any given genre are a variation of one another. In medieval stories, for instance, you'll always find overlapping elements: magic, magical creatures, spells, kings, princes, lands under siege, a prophesy foretold of some ordinary peasant becoming great, a wizard (or wizards), etc. But this doesn't make 'A New Arrival Under Great Skies' an unoriginal plot by any means. I think the author simply found a good mix of some of the elements mentioned above and crafted a good plot with them. I have read stories in the medieval/SciFi/fantasy genre with similarities to this one, but I haven't come across a story EXACTLY like it.gabrielletiemi wrote: ↑01 Oct 2020, 06:02 Matthew Tysz brings in this novel a fascinating story with magic, some mysterious characters, and a lot more. I loved the book and thought that it was well-developed with an engaging and gripping plot. However, I also thought that it resembled other books I read about a medieval world with magical powers, heroes, kings, evil, and good. Do you think that the story is indeed unique or a common variation of the Middle Ages books?

I've only read the first book, but I can tell you I've never read a book quite like this one.

Creating a world and a magic system is difficult, but it has been well done in 'We are Voulhire'
